So, everyone worrying about the Venus probe reentry: yes, it's not designed to burn up in the atmosphere, and that's bad.

But, remember Starlink? There's something like one Starlink per day reentering now, and they weigh more than the Venus probe! SpaceX says they will burn up completely, but now one Starlink piece has been discovered in my province. (And if they don't make it to the ground, that means that half-ton of metal and plastic is deposited in the stratosphere instead. Yum).

"No Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under [the United States] shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State."

Maybe some parts of the Constitution are fuzzy or ambiguous. This isn't one of them. https://mas.to/@gleick/114489803866392093

Words matter.

Don't say arrest when you mean kidnap.
Don't say deported when you mean trafficked.
Don't say prison when you mean concentration camp.
Don't say rule of law when you mean lawlessness.
Don't say illegal when you mean immigrant.
Don't say law enforcement when you mean masked civilian bounty hunters posing as law enforcement.
Don't say protecting women when you mean controlling women.
Don't say agenda when you mean equal rights.
Don't say meritocracy when you mean cronyism.
Don't say war when you mean invasion.
Don't say President when you mean Dictator.
Don't say terrorist when you mean opponent.
And don't say Christian when you mean Fascist.

It confuses people.
